Political corruption is on the rise. Osama Bin Laden is still hiding somewhere around the world, perhaps issuing orders even as we speak. In America, Obama's perfectly logical attempts to overhaul some of his country's crumbling institutions are being met with opposition at every turn by lunatic Fox News pundits, far right conservatives, regressive Christian fundamentalists and straight arseholes.

Domestically, an unelected Prime Minister continues to duck questions regarding our forces' true mission in Afghanistan and the Middle East. While we fight a civil war on someone else's behalf abroad, closer to home The Real IRA are returning to militant ways. Apathy and cynicism are at an all-time high among folks of our generation, while the recession continues to cause mass depression. Violence and hatred continues to grow throughout the world, the extremity of the times is proving too much to handle almost, and a cold wind blows through the hearts of man.

it can't be that bad, go for a run or something, they always help :) i'm feeling a bit shite too, i'm terrified of leaving for uni on saturday, i know i'll like it, the anticipation is just the worst bit for me AND it's my driving test tomorrow which i know i'm fucking going to fail and paying like 80 squid or whatever to do so makes it an even bigger annoyance!

and then I gatecrashed a jewish wedding. Today has therefore been bad and good, as far as days go. Hope you feel better soon. I am finding that prosecco and redbull is helping. (it's also a lot nicer than kosher wine).
